INTRODUCTION

The philosophy of Malaysia’s Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA 1994) is to shift the responsibilities of managing OSH at workplace from the government to the people who create the risk, and the people who work with the risk, commonly known as self-regulation. Hence, this course will explain in depth the concept of self-regulation and the implementation strategy that the industry could adopt to effectively comply with the act and regulations in OSHA 1994 and consequently create a safer workplace for the well-being of the workers and benefits for the organisation.
